When I put my turbo 350 in,I left the kick down cable off,will not hurt trans to leave it off,I found it safer to manually pull shifter down when I wanted it to down shift,I had my cable hooked up on one of my old trucks years ago with a pretty stout small block,nailed the throttle when in 3 Rd gear downshifted on its own,tires broke loose and away we went,damn near went in the rhubarb,so with my new 1970 with a ZZ6 crate engine,no kick down.
